When the dynamo is inactive, any steam stored inside gradually dissipates. This
can cause energy loss when steam is being supplied while the dynamo is inactive.

An installed turbine conversion quadruples the maximum power output of a steam
dynamo.

Generating energy using dynamos with boiler
conversions installed and steam dynamos with
turbine conversions installed is more fuel efficient than using dynamos to
generate energy directly. A dynamo with a boiler conversion installed produces
steam at the same rates at which it would normally generate energy (replacing RF
with mB), while a steam dynamo with a turbine conversion installed generates 2
RF of energy per mB of steam.
